Haven't touched this since the first month of launch of the original box. If I was to get him going, what should I buy for Xmas to get him going?

Thanks for the info. I bought him the 20 dollar box as the 20 bucks is worth having something he can actually open on the day.

Also, depending on your kid's age, make sure you comb through the parental controls for the account as well. Bliz actually gives you a LOT of control over stuff, such as chat ability, access times, and a bunch of other stuff that other MMOs just totally lack in.

Just remember to bookmark the parental account page link because it won't be able to access it any other way. (i.e. there's no, "Go to parental controls page" link on Battle.net) If you don't bookmark it you can have the e-mail resent.
